Cat demonstrates clearly winning strategy to hide from the vet

So 2018.

You're sick? Go to the doctor. You're not gonna like it, and neither did this cat.

A frustrated feline who simply gave up all enthusiasm for wellbeing has captured the ultimate vibe of visiting the doc. And yeah, that's 2018 in general.

Writer Ashly Perez posted a photo of her cat James on Twitter on Wednesday, and he's one reluctant kitty who clearly did not wish to be at the vet.

So, naturally, he put his head in the bin.

Same! If it fits I sits. And with the year we've had, that trash hole looks pretty good.

Folks on Twitter found the defiant kitty a strong mood too.

But James isn't alone in his bin-hiding strategy at the vet. The stubborn road to denial is well-paved.

Everyone to the trash hole. Faces first.
